Hi,
I've been writing for seven years. I work part time in order to dedicate as much time as possible to my writing.
I'm hoping that my pitch will speak for itself, so I've elected to put up the first couple of paragraphs from the novel so that you can see if you like my style.
I will appreciate any and all feedback.
Thank you.

She knew she'd get caught eventually. Gwithian's eyes lock with those of the woman who's just entered the room. They both freeze. The woman's eyes are the same colour as the jagged chips of turquoise strung on a piece of elastic around Gwithian's wrist. Like the turquoise, they're flecked with tints of orange, yellow and brown. Taking in their intricacies Gwithian momentarily forgets her predicament.
    Behind the woman the door hesitates before uttering the final soft 'clump' of closure, as if in a way it preferred being open. The wafting air brushes the sensitive flesh below Gwithian's navel. At this she panics. Could she explain that she's not a flasher? That this is something she does often? No. How would that sound? Oh, excuse me, but it's alright that I'm standing in the middle of a public restroom with my trousers down because this is something I do all the time. This isn't salacious, this is serious. No. That explanation wouldn't go well at all.

This looks excellent. Real life but ennobiling and challenging rather than mundane.

As a new photographer, about to embark on my degree in digital imagery, the concept of the life story through photography really intrigues me. Like the author I have always been intrigued by old images of people that capture the moment and help remind us of what makes us who we are.

I think that this story has a good appeal to a wide range of readers and I wish the author ever piece of luck in finding an publisher.

Hi Northborder
I love looking through people's photo albums, old pictures are so compelling. It's one of the first things I do when I fall in love with someone - try and get a look at old pictures.
As for how it develops, I guess you'd have to read it. Maybe someone will take an interest and you'll have a chance.
love
Jo

PS - I'm sorry about all the question marks in the bottom post. It turns out if you copy and paste from word then all you ' get turned into ?

Like the idea of 12 pictures to convey a life. Interesting selection of scenarios would like to see the development.
